NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that Planning Commission Application No. 2024-007, as submitted by C Alan Homes LLC, and requesting approval of the preliminary and final plats for ROBERTSON AND BREKKE BROOKL,YN BOULEVARD SECOND ADDITION, be denied based upon the findings of fact: The Planning Commission staff report last revised June 13, 2024, and the submitted documentation and plans, whereby the Planning Commission recommended denial of the preliminary and final plats. 2. There are concerns regarding the traffic flow given that the property does not have direct access to Brooklyn Boulevard. 3. There are too few parking spaces on the property for residents of the 6 triplexes, especially when snow storage from the parking areas and access roads is needed, as a number of these parking spaces will need to be used for snow storage. 4. No construction on the property has taken place in over three years. 5. The Applicant has not addressed the comments by Assistant City Engineer Hogg in his memorandum dated August 4, 2020. 6. Because the property does not have access to Brooklyn Boulevard, traffic from the triplexes on the property will be routed to Lee Avenue, which will significantly increase the traffic within that single-family residential neighborhood.
